The bill to establish the
Nigerian Financial Intelligence Agency has scaled second reading in the Senate.
The NFIU is currently under the
anti-graft agency.
The bill to remove that control
was passed for second reading and referred to the committee on anti-corruption
and financial crimes for further action on Tuesday, the first legislative day
after it was initiated for first reading last Thursday.
The committee was asked to submit
its report tomorrow, Wednesday. The bill is being fastracked by a Senate that
has been at loggerheads with the EFCC head, Ibrahim Magu.
The proposed NFIU is to serve as
the “central body in Nigeria responsible for receiving, requesting, analysing
and disseminating financial intelligence reports and other information to law
enforcement, security and intelligence agencies and other relevant
authorities.”
